How to hire talent?

[wbkight]

Hello,

I found a person I would like to hire in upwork but can't figure out how to contact them?

The help threads say to click their profile, but I can't hyperlink to anything?

Thank you,

Hi Bill,

I checked your account, and it looks like you created a freelance account. To hire freelancers, you will need to have a client account. You can be a freelancer, agency, and a client on Upwork. You will use the same account to log in to Upwork but will have separate user profiles. You will be able to easily switch between them as needed. To create a client account, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings › My Teams and choose the Create New Account button at the bottom.
2. Choose New Client Account
3. Once set up, use the account menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency

For more information please read this help article.

Not an agency! If you want to hire, you need to create a client account!!
